Big Brother contestant George Gilbert has been asked to leave the show following repeated use of offensive language. The 23-year-old's removal will be aired in tonight's episode.
George has been a controversial figure on the show since he entered, as he has had several arguments with other housemates over political issues like immigration and homelessness. He was also given a formal warning by Big Brother after doing a homophobic impression of another housemate,Sam Ashby, in a game of Truth or Dare.
In scenes deemed by ITV to be too offensive to air, George is said to have made an antisemitic comment that led to his ejection from the house. His full exit will be shown tonight (9 October).

In the episode, George will be called to the Diary Room, where Big Brother will remind him of the rules he agreed to when he started on the show. "Hello, George," Big Brother said. "George, before you entered the Big Brother House, the rules regarding unacceptable and offensive language and behaviour were explained to you.”
George then flippantly asked, "What is it?" Big Brother responded that the show has issued a warning to the Essex-based contestant on "several separate occasions" about his language and even issued him with a formal warning.
"Despite this, at 6.22pm, in a conversation about conspiracy theories, the words you used broke the rules regarding unacceptable and offensive language.
"George, Big Brother thinks that your repeated use of offensive language in the house including during yesterday's conversation is unacceptable. Big Brother cannot permit you to use language in a manner which is likely to be considered offensive by Housemates or the viewing public.”
Parish councillor and actor George said he understood, but Big Brother then had more to say. He continued: "Despite the prior warnings and the opportunities we have given you to adjust your language in the House, you have persisted in using offensive language. And as a result, Big Brother has no choice other than to remove you from the House.”
George was given the opportunity to say something. He said: "“I always want to question any theory, any movement, I just like to, I just want to know the truth about things and I’m sorry. So I'm really gutted but if that’s what you want to do then I’m sorry it’s ended like this.”

This is very similar to what he said upon leaving the Big Brother house. "As a flag bearer of freedom of speech, I never hesitate to discuss and question any topic regardless of how contentious it may be," the 23-year-old said.
"Sadly, the boundaries of what is deemed offensive are subjective and I evidently went too far this time by crossing their line one too many times. It is a shame that specific debate could not be had and that it has had to end like this. Infamy, infamy, they’ve all got it in for me."
Because of his language and behaviour, George was nominated for eviction in this week's vote. However, his removal forced ITV to halt the public vote. Addressing the situation on Big Brother Late and Live, host AJ Odudu said "George was removed from the Big Brother house today following repeated use of unacceptable language and behaviour.
"As he was up for eviction, the vote has been closed for now. So if you've voted already, your votes don't count. But new votes between Cameron B, Elsa and Richard will be opening tomorrow and you'll have five new votes. So tune in tomorrow to see the housemates reaction to the news."
Big Brother continues on ITV and ITVX tonight at 9pm
